Mitcham Common Walk

Large wooded common popular with bird watchers

Mitcham Junction (Zone 4) has trains from Victoria and is also in the Wimbledon - East Croydon tram line. Park anywhere around the common, CPZ haven't made it this far yet.

Walk Notes

Mitcham Common is in medium sized open space (1 mile by 1 mile) in south London. It is a bit run down and unloved. Good for a stroll if you live nearby, but not worth a long journey. It is bisected by several roads, some busy, and much of it is taken up by a golf course. However, there are long term plans to link it with Beddington Park via a former Sewage works turned weltands nature reserve.

There are noticeboards/maps at the entrance to each region of the common, but take care crossing some of the roads between them! Don't follow this walk religiously - take time to explore.
